Sydney Cycleways

We are committed to providing safe and connected bicycle routes that can be used for people of all ages and riding abilities. During consultation for Sustainable Sydney 2030, some of the most common requests included: ‘dedicated safe spaces for cyclists’ and ‘improved amenity for pedestrians’. In response, the Sustainable Sydney 2030 plan includes improved cycling and pedestrian networks to form a liveable green network across Sydney.

This is the page where you can view and comment on all of the City of Sydney's current cycling projects. We will consider all your submissions before any concept designs are finalised.

The City of Sydney has identified new parking spaces, improved drop-off zones at key locations, and introduced new parking restrictions making it easier for residents to park in the area.

This follows a review of local parking in response to community feedback on our plans for walking and cycling on Wilson and Burren streets.

The proposed changes would result in 29 new parking spaces and 17 additional residential spaces – 46 in total – offsetting the future removal of 37 spaces to improve walking and cycling in the local area.

New parking spaces – Randle, Holdsworth and Forbes streets

A total of 33 additional parking spaces will be created by converting parallel parking to angled parking in Randle, Holdsworth and Forbes streets.

In addition, one new space will be gained on Wilson Street. Existing parking restrictions in these areas will remain.More resident parking spaces – Copeland Avenue

A total of 17 additional resident parking spaces will be created with new time restrictions on the southern side of Copeland Avenue. A new ‘2P 8am to 10pm Permit Holders Excepted Area 22’ parking restriction will apply. This will limit vehicles without an Area 22 parking permit to two hours of parking from 8am to 6pm seven days a week where the signs are installed.

Drop off zones – Wilson Street

In response to community requests for a drop-off zone near Redfern Station, two new ‘No Parking 8am to 10pm’ spaces are proposed on the southern side of Wilson Street at the Ivy Street intersection.

In response to requests for extended drop-off zones at Carriageworks, the three spaces on southern side of Wilson Street at Carriageworks will become ‘No Parking 8am to 11pm’ spaces.

New pedestrian crossing – Wilson and Queen streets

A new pedestrian crossing is proposed on Wilson Street near the intersection of Queen Street and Carriageworks Way (subject to approvals). To ensure the crossing is safe, two parking spaces, one on each side of Wilson Street, will be converted to ‘No Stopping’.

The City welcomes community feedback on the proposed traffic changes. Submissions must be in writing and include your name, address and reference number 2017/387775.

Reviewing this proposal

City staff will review any feedback on this proposal and prepare a report for consideration by the Local Pedestrian, Cycling and Traffic Calming Committee at its meeting 15 November 2017.

Parking changes endorsed by the committee will be installed before works start on improving Wilson and Burren streets for people walking and cycling.

The exhibition period for this project is now complete. Thanks for having your say.

We are designing a new cycleway along Moore Park Road in Paddington. The two-way separated cycleway will enhance safety along an important regional cycle link between Bondi Junction and the city centre.

It will link the existing cycleway along the northern edge of Centennial Park (Oxford Street) and Bourke Street cycleway in Surry Hills.

Streetscape improvements include:

safe crossing points for people walking and riding bikes at intersections

a bus stop upgrade between Cook and Lang roads

removal of the slip lane on Lang Road and an extra left turn lane

a safer path around the Korean War Memorial

more footpath space for people walking along Moore Park Road during events

more shrubs and grass

better street lighting for safety at night.

The project will not affect the function of the road for people driving or affect access for residents and businesses. There will be no loss of parking spaces.

We will maintain all significant trees, relocate trees where necessary and offset any losses by planting new trees.

The proposed design will see a new footpath built up to 1.4m into land owned by Centennial Parklands Trust, which is supported by the trust and consistent with its masterplan currently on exhibition.

Please note that the existing conditions are marked in red on the concept design.

Following the Environment Committee on Monday 20 March, councillors were briefed on the following Friday afternoon and amendments to the scope have been made. Please find an update on the scope of the project that were considered by councillors prior to the Council meeting.

The exhibition period for this project is now complete. Thanks for having your say.

UPDATE: The exhibition period for the concept design will now conclude on Monday 9 January 2017.

We're improving Wilson, Burren, Little Eveleigh and Pine Streets in Newtown and Darlington and want you to have your say.

Improvements will include:

safer pedestrian crossings

better lighting and traffic calming measures

wider footpaths at intersections

shorter crossing distances and better sightlines

more garden beds and planting

a continuous separated two-directional cycleway on Wilson Street

separated one-way pair cycleway on Burren St and Pine Street.

These works will provide safer access by bike to Macdonaldtown Station and Wilson Street. People riding bikes in Little Eveleigh Street will be able to link directly to the new Lawson Street cycleway, which connects Redfern and the city centre.

The improvements will also result in:

The loss of 18 car spaces on Burren Street

The loss of 19 car spaces on Wilson Street

The replacement of seven trees along the route and the planting of an additional 11 trees.

The design for the next piece of the Sydney bike network is open for your feedback.

The Green Square to Randwick Cycle Connection will run through Portman Street, Joynton Avenue and Epsom road. This work will also help us get closer to completing the Marrickville to Randwick regional bike route.
